I haven't seen my mother in a year and a half. Every time we talk, she | :00:27. | :00:35. | |
breaks down in tears. I'm only asking for somebody to intervene and | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
help the people there because what is happening is a crime. | :00:39. | :00:41. | |

For months the town of Madiya in Syria has been under siege | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
by government forces, and with little access to food, | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
terrible reports have been emerging of how thousands of people there, | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
Children are feared to have died of starvation, while people have | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
been forced to eat weeds and vermin. | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
Well tomorrow, the United Nations and the Red Cross hope a convoy | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
of aid will be allowed to travel from the capital Damascus to Madiya, | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
and two villages besieged by rebel forces. | :02:02. | :02:11. | |
Lyse Doucet, who's on Syria's border with Lebanon, | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
has heard new testimony on the desperate situation in | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
On Lebanon's border it looms with majestic beauty. Behind the | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
snowcapped peaks unfolds the dark tale. This lady left Madaya with her | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
young family two years ago. Her mother, nieces and nephews are still | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
there. She asked us to blow their faces. | :02:32. | :02:38. | |
-- blur their faces. I haven't seen my mother feel year and a half, | :02:39. | :02:46. | |
every time I speak to she breaks down in tears. I'm asking for some | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
and intervene and help because what is happening is a crime. They remain | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
in text communication but today they couldn't get through. Fox just two | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
more days of starvation became a reply, thanks be to God. These are | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
the image is said to be from inside Madaya. A child whose mother says is | :03:08. | :03:15. | |
surviving on salted water. It's what many seem to be living on. If you | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
can call this a life. Packets of salt handed out, leaves pulled from | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
trees. We can't verify these images ourselves. Today, on the border, | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
Syrians and Lebanese raise their voices for Madaya. A rebel held town | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
besieged. Madaya is now in the eyes of the world. Protests like this are | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
moving. Madaya is just one, one of many. There are 400,000 people in | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
all said the United Nations, not getting enough attention, not | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
getting any at all. This is the place that used to symbolise | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
suffering in Syria. We returned to its starkers corridor last month. | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
The UN hasn't been able to enter here since June, and some places | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
have never been reached. Today aid agencies prepare to feed Madaya, and | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
two Northern villagers seated by opposition. That is the deal. In | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
Syria, food is a weapon of war. A British man arrested in Ghana | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
in connection with the killing of his partner, the former | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
Eastenders actress Sian Blake, and their two sons, will appear | :04:41. | :04:42. | |
in court in the morning. Arthur Simpson-Kent was detained | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
yesterday at a beach resort. British detectives have | :04:46. | :04:47. | |
begun legal proceedings, to bring him back to | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
the UK for questioning. From Ghana, Alistair | :04:51. | :04:52. | |
Leithead reports. Paraded in front of the media, | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
the Ghanaian authorities were keen to show off Arthur Simpson-Kent, | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
the murder suspect in their custody, just three days after being told | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
he was in Ghana and the British The fugitive is in our custody, | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
waiting an official request from the British government | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
via the diplomatic channel He was arrested yesterday, | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
at a remote tourist spot hours Locals who recognised him said it | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
took police a long time to act on tips, but British | :05:26. | :05:30. | |
officers disagreed. I'm satisfied it was done | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
as quickly as we could, There is nothing we or the Ghanaians | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
could have done any quicker, The bodies of Sian Blake | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
and their two children were found last week in the back garden, weeks | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
after first being reported missing. Their father travelled | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
to Ghana before Christmas. This beautiful stretch of coast | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
is where Arthur Simpson-Kent came, after apparently visiting his | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
grandmother in Cape Coast Many people in town have met him, | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
and when his photograph circulated on social media, they realised | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
he was a wanted man. He met Mr Simpson-Kent at a cafe | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
owned by a British woman. We sat and had a coffee, | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
and he said he was Even though I had seen his | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
photograph. It was three weeks that | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
Arthur Simpson-Kent was here in Ghana before the authorities | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
were made aware that the police in the UK were looking for him, | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
but such is the power of social media that just a few days | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
after his photograph was circulated, the community here, in this remote | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
part of coastal Ghana, realised it was him, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
mobilised the police The search ended here, | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
but the process to extradite him Although in custody, | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
Arthur Simpson-Kent can't be questioned by police in connection | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
with the murder investigation, until he's back in Britain and that | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
could take some time. The first step will be | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
when he appears in court tomorrow. Alistair Leithead, BBC News, | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
on the Ghanaian coast. David Cameron has told the BBC he's | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
"hopeful" a deal can be reached with European leaders next month, | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
which would pave the way for a referendum on Britain's | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
membership of the EU. The Prime Minister indicated | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
the 'in/out' vote, could follow as early as June, if agreement | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
is reached at a summit in February. Here's our Political | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
Correspondent Ross Hawkins. In or out of the European Union? A | :07:26. | :07:35. | |
decision that could define Britain's future, a decision he made clear | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
today could be just months away. My aim is clear, best of both worlds | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
for Britain, the massive prize of sorting out what frustrates us about | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
Europe but staying in a reformed Europe. I'm going to work around the | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
clock to get that done. He is hopeful he will secure that prize in | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
Brussels next month, which could mean referendum in June. If he fails | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
here, the vote might not come till next year. So after tortuous | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
negotiations in Europe, was the British government prepared for the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
possibility of actually leaving the EU? I don't think that is the right | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
answer, for the answers I've given, but were that to be the answer, we | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
would have to do everything necessary to make that work. We put | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
it in our manifesto, it is a public that will decide this, not the | :08:23. | :08:34. | |
politicians. Something they call a Brexit. He said this morning there | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
are no plans for Brexit, this is disgraceful, it is really serious | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
because it is a very complicated operation to carry out if it | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
happens. I'm told there is growing disquiet among Eurosceptic cabinet | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
ministers, that was pro-European ministers are encouraged to speak, | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
they keep quiet. David Cameron says he will stay in his job whatever | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
happens in the referendum, but some of his MPs think if Britain votes to | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
leave the EU he will be. Downing Street. Ross Hawkins, BBC News. | :09:07. | :09:09. | |
The authorities in Mexico say they want to question the American | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
actor Sean Penn, about an interview he conducted with the drug baron | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
It took place in the Mexican jungle while Guzman was a fugitive | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
on the run, having escaped from a maximum security prison.He | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
From Mexico City here's Katie Watson. | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
A handshake that took everyone by surprise. | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
One Hollywood star and one of the world's most wanted men, | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
that is, until he was caught on Friday | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
It turns out that vanity played a part | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
According to the Mexican authorities, he wanted | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
The security services worked out he had | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
been in contact with actors and producers. | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
After a brief meeting in a hideout, El Chapo later recorded | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
an interview, answering questions provided by Penn. | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
In it he blamed his rise to become a violent and feared criminal | :10:02. | :10:04. | |
And the man said to be responsible for tens of thousands | :10:05. | :10:19. | |
of deaths through his drug trafficking activities, | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
There is talk in Mexico that contact between the two | :10:22. | :10:33. | |
men may have facilitated El Chapo's capture. | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
No doubt the authorities both here in Mexico and the US | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
would like to speak to Sean Penn, but the | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
big prize for the Americans is El Chapo. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
They are seeking to extradite him as soon as possible. | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Mexico's a country where reality is sometimes too unbelievable to be | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
El Chapo's escapades are material for a movie, | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
but one he will no longer be involved in. | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
The Government's Chief Medical Officer, Dame Sally Davies, | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
has urged junior doctors in England to call off a strike planned | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
She told the Sunday Times she could understand their anger | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
and frustration, but didn't want patients to suffer. | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
The doctors union, the British Medical Association, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
says strike action demonstrates the strength of feeling | :11:19. | :11:20. | |
within the profession, against proposed new employment | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
The Prime Minister's announced a ?140 million programme to either | :11:22. | :11:35. | |
renovate, or tear down and replace England's worst housing estates. | :11:36. | :11:37. | |
David Cameron pledged to end what he called 'decades of neglect' | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
with the initiative, which he hopes will also help tackle | :11:41. | :11:42. | |
A panel of experts will choose the 100 sites to be looked at. | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
Here's our Political Correspondent Ross Hawkins. | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
Southampton's Thornhill estate, in parts dilapidated and deprived. | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
These are the type of tired tower blocks that should be revamped | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
or rebuilt to tackle the crime and poverty, | :12:01. | :12:02. | |
Phyllis, who has lived here for seven years, | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
says regeneration would help residents. | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
If they live in a rough area, they've no pride, and therefore | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
they don't bother with themselves, let alone their community around | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
The government is investing ?140 million to identify sites | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
The rest, and the bulk, will have to come from the private sector. | :12:21. | :12:28. | |
The plan is for old houses to be replaced with more affordable homes. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
I think sink housing estate, many built after the war, | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
where people can feel trapped in poverty, unable to get | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
on and build a good life for themselves, I think it is time, | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
with government money, but with massive private sector | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
and perhaps pension sector help, to demolish the worst of these | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
and actually rebuild houses that people feel they can | :12:50. | :12:52. | |
In Southampton there has long been an aspiration to regenerate some | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
Some work has been done, but plans often hit obstacles, | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
not least finding adequate funding, and some argue the Government's | :13:02. | :13:03. | |
proposal doesn't mean much without more money to back it up. | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
Revamping just one estate can cost millions, says the local Labour | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
council, which fears new homes that are built could be sold off, | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
leaving a shortage of social housing for rent. | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
We have about 10,000 people on our social housing waiting list | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
in Southampton, and I don't really know how much money has been made | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
available for them by central government. | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
The government is offering money for people who can buy or nearly | :13:29. | :13:31. | |
buy, but where is the money for everybody else? | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
Tenants rights will be protected, says the Government, | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
and estates rebuilt with homes to buy and rent, but this ambition | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
is not yet reality, and for some, social turnaround will take more | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
It is nice, you have nice neighbours, you have neighbourhood | :13:48. | :13:58. | |
wardens who control the whole thing. Recognition that social turnaround | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
will take more than changing bricks and mortar. | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
A ceremony has been held in Paris ending a week of commemorations | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
for the victims of the attacks on the satirical newspaper | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket a year ago. | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
People gathered in the Place de la Republique, the site of defiant | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
protests against the killings for a minute's silence. | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
An oak tree unveiled to commemorate the victims, | :14:22. | :14:23. | |
and those killed in the Paris shootings in November. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Thousands of people have held a protest in Hong Kong to express | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
continuing anger at the disappearance of five | :14:33. | :14:33. | |
booksellers, thought to be in detention in China. | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
They are all linked to the same Hong Kong bookshop that sells | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
publications critical of the Chinese government. | :14:40. | :14:56. | |
Senior figures within the Church of England, including 7 Archdeacons | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
and 8 retired Bishops, are among more than a hundred | :14:59. | :15:00. | |
signatories to an open letter, urging the church to acknowledge | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
that gay and trans-gender Christians have been discriminated against, | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
It comes ahead of a meeting of global Anglican leaders | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
Our Religious Affairs Correspondent Caroline Wyatt is there for us, | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
The Anglican Communion is made up of 80 million of the faithful in 160 | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
countries around the world, who look to Canterbury for their leadership, | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
but ever since the Liberal Episcopal church in North America allowed a | :15:26. | :15:35. | |
gay bishop it intensified. Justin Welby has called the leaders of | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
those churches together around one table to discuss their differences, | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
in what is being seen by many as a high-risk strategy. | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
The crypt at Canterbury Cathedral has heard many heartfelt prayers | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
Tonight there will be many more as the leaders of the Anglican | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
Communion come together to face their divisions | :15:53. | :15:53. | |
over sexuality that have scarred the church. | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
Jane is a leading evangelical Christian. | :16:00. | :16:00. | |
She is behind the letter to the archbishops today. | :16:01. | :16:09. | |
Sent in the hope that the church can heal some of the hurt felt by gay | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
I would like to see them repent for the way they have treated | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
I would love it for them to turn round and say, gosh, | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
I don't think that's going to happen. | :16:23. | :16:25. | |
Actually there is a significant part of the Church of England who really | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
worry about how the gay community is being treated and want to stand | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
But attitudes of many African countries and elsewhere where active | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
homosexuality remains a crime, make it hard to find common ground. | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
There is strong opposition from some churches to gay marriage | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
More conservative voices here and the former Bishop | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
of Rochester says the church must stick to its biblical roots. | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
It's about the source of authority, whether we just make it up as we go | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
along, or does the church still acknowledge the authority | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
of the Bible and the unanimous teaching of the whole church and not | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
This chapel, our Lady Undercroft, is where many of the primates | :17:08. | :17:19. | |
will gather to pray and reflect this week. | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
Many hoping that they can overcome their divisions. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
It's hard to see how such radically differing views on sexuality | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Not least while the Church of England itself is still | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Some fear that this week could even mark the end of the | :17:30. | :17:35. | |
With all news of today's FA Cup action and the rest of the sport | :17:36. | :17:45. | |
here's Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes at the BBC Sports Centre. | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
The FA Cup 3rd Round continued today. | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
The results are coming now, so if you want to wait for Match | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
of the Day, which follows the news or if you're in Scotland | :17:57. | :17:59. | |
it's after Sportscene, which has highlights of the Scottish | :18:00. | :18:01. | |
But their Premier League colleagues Swansea suffered by far the biggest | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
shock - losing to League 2's Oxford United. | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
Our Correspondent Andy Swiss has the details. | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
Two teams, 54 league places apart, one hefty shock. It was the day the | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
FA Cup and Oxford delivered a good old-fashioned giant-killing, not | :18:26. | :18:28. | |
that there was much sign of one when Swansea took a sumptuous lead | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
through this brilliant backheel. But soon the hosts were handed a | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
lifeline. Penalty to Oxford, which was coolly dispatched. And if that | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
got them excited, what followed after the break with something else. | :18:43. | :18:53. | |
